Praise
"A World Undone is an original and very readable account of one of the most significant and often misunderstood events of the last century.With an historians eye for clear headed analysis and astorytellers talent for detail and narrative, G.J Meyer presents a compelling account of theblunders that produced the world’sfirst "great war"andset the stage formany of the tragic events that followed." —Steve Gillon, Resident Historian, The History Channel"This is one of those books where you read every page…. Meyer organizes his book chronologically, and accompanies each chapter with a short background essay…. [A World Undone] has the very best qualities for this kind of comprehensive approach: a gift for compression and an eye for the telling detail." —Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“A comprehensive history aimed at the general reader….You finish this book feeling you’ve learned everything anyone reasonably needs to know about The Great War.” —Pittsburgh Tribune–Review
“Meyer breathes life into the human story within the Great War. He provides in-depth profiles of many of the political and military leaders of that era, and explains why they were so important….This is a literary vision of WWI that few of us have ever encountered. Simply put, this is historical reporting at its best.” —Smoky Mountain Sentinel
“Thundering, magnificent…this is a book of true greatness that prompts moments of sheer joy and pleasure. Researched to last possible dot…It will earn generations of admirers.” —Washington Times
"Especially suited for the interested American reader…. Meyer’s sketches of the British Cabinet, the Russian Empire, the aging Austro-Hungarian Empire, the leaders of Prussia with their newly minted swagger, are lifelike and plausible. His account of the tragic folly of Gallipoli is masterful…. It should go without saying that in 2006 … [A World Undone] has an instructive value that can scarely be measured."—Los Angeles Times
"Accomplished with brio… [Meyer] blends ‘foreground, background, and sidelights’ to highlight the complex interactions of apparently unconnected events behind the four-year catastrophic war that destroyed a world and defined a century."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
